Transportation facilities for university students

Good evening,

Does anyone know about the prices of bus tickets and train tickets for students? Like how much would it cost me to take 2 buses and a train to get to university. I’ve got an offer from Huddersfield university but it’s 29 miles from home. I live in bury. There’s a way to going there without using the train? What about student discounts for transportation?
Thanks

A 16-25 railcard costs around £30 and gives you 1/3 off train prices, across the country, and student bus prices vary by network.
